L1, L2 Visa

THis forum really helped me a lot. I was ready with all the questions I read here. The entire experience was good without any hiccups.

I had my interview for L1B in Chennai centre. Everything was organized and the staff helped at every step.

My Interview ended in 5 minutes with only two questions:

Q1) For how many years you are working with this company?
Q2) How many people from this company are working in the US?

In between, the officer was reading something on his desktop.He hardly loked at my face as his entire concentration was on his desktop.
And then he said..we will send the passport within a week.

Hi All,
Thanks to all the people shared thier experience.
My L1B was approved last week.
As said in this forum, all the procedures were same and they Questions are similar.
VO: Hi..
ME: Hi.. Good Morning Sir..
VO: Good Morning.. gestured to give the file.
ME :( i gave the file with a smile, He took only the petition and required documents and gave back the rest)
VO: How long your are with XYZ ?
ME : 5 years
VO : Who is your client ?
ME : ABC
VO : Why are you going to US ?
ME : Gave a brief explanation about purpose of travel.
VO : How long you are working for this client ?
ME : 1 year

[VO started signing papers]
VO : your visa is approved.
Gave 2 form, said 1 is for your employer and one is for you.
He gave a big smile.
ME : Thank you sir, Have a nice day.

My observation, all VO and staff are very friendly and helpful. Their Job is to provide visa for the needful.
Dont take tensions, jus smile as said in this forum and spill only the required beans.

Hi

Thanks to immihelp and users who had posted there experience. Its very helpful for me to get the visa.

I had my interview on 05 Aug 8:30 a.m at Mumbai US Consulate.

I was reached there at 7.30 and I was instructed to stand in a separate queue and keep ready my DD, Passport, I-797 and 2 copies of I-129S forms.

They have collected that and given me a token. At 8:45 I was allowed inside. first counter for security checking. Don’t carry zip files, keep all the documents in transparent cover. In next counter, they give the passport and 156, 157(which was send to them in courier). After that, they will take our finger print and collect those documents and passport. We need to wait for them to call our token number. In Cosulate we have small refreshment center (food stall) so we can make our self more comfortable.

We need luck for getting interview from good officers. Really I am very lucky. Bcoz first I was called by a person in a counter no X. There are 3 persons standing before me. In that queue, VO officer rejected two ppl and I was much tensed. When I entered into the room, they were closed the counter, told me to wait and somebody else will take my interview. After 30 min’s another guy called my token number. Again I was standing last in the queue. But here interview was smooth and VO officer is talking very friendly. All the persons got there stamping. I was standing so comfortable.

The following conversation happened with me

Me: Hi good Morning

Me: Yes
VO: How long u r working for ZZZ?
Me: I am working for 22 Months
